I had a problem a few months back, i needed to have internet over wifi, since i used a PPPoE dialup it was not that easy, but i have found a solution. ( because i live in a commune we all have our own dial up)

connectify!

http://www.connectify.me

now i get my dialup PPPoE on one lan card, and push out on the other to my router (turn DHCP off) and i can connect my Blackberry; ipad and laptop without sharing my data with other people.
 
Looking at there forum, it only supports win xp and vista (ad-hoc) and win7
 
Connectify is a really nice easy program. I used it a bit in Win 7, and it's very straight forward. It basically just automates a bunch of commands you can do manually. It is possible to do this in most linux distros, and I imagine for Macs as well.

Just search for "<OS> make wifi AP"

eg: for mac
